—A News Vendor, moments before his newsstand is crushed by a falling superhero.

All Fall Down (2011) is a Graphic Novel created by Casey Jones and Anvit Randeria, along with half a dozen other illustrators. It tells the story of Sophie Mitchell, a teenager who accidentally steals every last superpower on Earth. Several heroes and villains die or are injured as a result of losing their powers while in use. Sophie is acquired by the government and trained to become Siphon, the world's last superhero; while the ex-heroes and villains strive to pick up their lives and move on... not all of them succeed.

The book explores Dr. Kubler-Ross's Stages of Grief, and the effects such a loss would have on superheroes.

Tropes used in All Fall Down include:

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: IQ Squared created AIQ Squared as a contingency plan if he ever lost his genius. AIQ immediately begins plotting to kill Siphon in order to restore its creator's brilliance.

Artificial Intelligence: AIQ Squared, the result of IQ Squared's contingency plan, in case he ever lost his genius.

Artificial Limbs: The now-paraplegeic speedster, Pronto, resorts to this in order to walk again.

Attempted Rape: The super-heroine Portia experiences this in the middle of a fight when she loses her powers. Rescued by The Ghoul, she spends the rest of the book coping with the indignity of needing to be saved.

Establishing Series Moment: In chapter one, a news vendor comforts a small boy by telling him "Nothin' bad ever lasts in the comics. Death, doom, disaster? There's nothin' they can't fix." Moments later, a superhero plummets out of the sky, destroying the news stand and dying instantly.

Just Between You and Me: AIQ Squared delivers this in the final chapter, explaining how and why Siphon was manipulated into a position where she would be helpless to prevent her powers being stripped from her, killing her in the process.

Shrink Ray: The Order of Despots has one on the Moon, and threaten to shrink the Earth with it. It comes up again later as a possible solution to a Colony Drop-sized asteroid which turns out to be a hoax.

Suspiciously Specific Sermon: Father Hector delivers a sermon on remaining strong in the face of adversity, intercut with a Flash Back to the Pantheon duking it out with the Order of Despots on the moon.

Tears of Fear: Portia weeps at the climax—not for her own sake, but for what the Modern Prometheus could do to her friends.

Tell Me Again: Pronto requests a recap of the Pantheon's plan in the flashback in chapter two.

This Cannot Be!: AIQ Squared says something to this effect moments before his downfall.

"Three Laws"-Compliant: AIQ Squared, the AI model of his inventor, is designed to be this. It finds a loophole--Sophie Mitchell is no longer human.

Tragic Dream: Any hopes the heroes or villains have about ever getting their powers back.

Translator Collar: Phylum receives one in the mail from an anonymous donor, giving him back his voice. It's booby-trapped to give corrupting advice to Pronto from the lips of his best friend.

Treacherous Advisor: AIQ Squared is this to Siphon and the Pantheon. Mildly subverted in that he is legitimately looking out for IQ Squared's best interests.

Treacherous Quest-Giver: AIQ Squared is this to Siphon and the Pantheon when he sends them on a mission to the moon.

Tropaholics Anonymous: Paradigm admits to Portia that since The Fall, he's been attending meetings at 'Remaining Heroes'.
